Cafe 33 in Stirling

Visited cafe 33 today for my lunch i couldnt fault the service and quality of food. the staff were very freindly and made me very welcome i would highly recommend the food and coffee here to any one i will definitely be back

We have been regular customers at Cafe 33 for a few years and have enjoyed many coffees and cakes/traybakes. However, we were most distress during our recent visit when we overheard one of the staff (mature white haired lady) making derogatory comments about the previous owners management of Cafe 33 and the quality of baking. Not only was this unprofessional it was outrageously untrue! We were quite shaken at this blatant attack. If anything the quality of baking by the previous owners was far superior to the current standard, not only that but the cleanliness and removal of dirty dishes leaves a lot to be desired compared to when the previous owners managed the cafe. Perhaps this mature white haired lady should spend more time working than spreading untruthful statements!

After reading these reviews I can see I’m not the only one who’s had a terrible experience due to this “white haired woman”. Never met a more rude person in my life let alone someone working in a customer service environment. Went in for a coffee and couldn’t enjoy it at all, as all I could hear was her talking about what I assume was a customer and she totally brought the atmosphere down in the cafe. Such a shame as coffee was brill and the other staff were lovely, but I won’t be back as long as she is there.

Visited at 1.10pm on a day where the cafe was closing at 2pm. Lady with brown hair was lovely and welcoming, checked with her that we were ok to grab a quick coffee and sandwich, which she confirmed. While she was away attending to customers outside, we could hear the lady with the white hair in the kitchen very loudly complaining/shouting that there were still 2 tables in and what time was she expected to finish. She was being extremely rude and loud about it. Couldn't believe what I'd heard, so pointed it out to my partner, not expecting for the lady to continue on complaining, but she did, even louder than before. She made it very obvious that she did not want us there and there was no way I was going to stay there after that. So we left. Absolutely mortifying. Although, not the first time I've had a bad experience with this lady. The other staff are lovely and the cakes are beautiful which is why I've always returned, but I don't think I'll be back after that.

This cafe has so gone downhill since new owners. Wonderful experienced staff leaving and not enough staff with sufficient knowledge of how to run this once great little cafe. So sad.

Decided to stop and Have Lunch.!! Ordered Tuna & Mozzarella Toastie. Arrived & was Tuna and cheddar. I eat Lactose free cheese if Cheddar. Disappointed. My Partner had Square sausage on a Roll.Black pudding. Dry rolls no butter and they were lost inside the Rolls. Won't be back. Staff look as if they can't be Bothered. Blonde Girl was pleasant though. Very Disappointed.

Visited Cafe 33 with my family for a sandwich. From arriving the service was bad - we were ignored for nearly 10 mins until I had to call the waitress over. After ordering we had to wait 50 mins to get served 4 toasties and a bowl of soup - the table beside us arrived after us, got served, paid and left while we still waited for our food. Try explaining that to 2 young kids wanting their lunch! Nobody came near us to explain, so we needed up having to go in and chase the food. When it arrived we waited another 5 mins for cutlery to eat it with. When I paid I was then over charged. when I went back to complain, I told the waitress I wasn't happy with the whole experience, with the long wait, poor service, and then being overcharged. I have to stress I was not rude and did not raise my voice. When outside a few mins later leaving with my young family, and in front of the rest of the customers the owner (I assume) came out and told me the waitress was in the toilet crying because of me complaining. While I obviously did not want to upset anyone, it was as if I should n't have complained, and should have just walked away and not complained at all. If the owner had of talked to us and explained there would be a long delay, or even acknowledged it when I paid, or apologised for over charging, but she did none of these, but left the inexperienced waitress to deal with everything. Very poor management - will certainly not be back.

Friendly staff. Cakes are divine. Pleasant service and menu is great value. Never disappoints. Highly recommend.

Just a pop in for a breakfast but what a breakfast. Superb and great value. Lovely produce, great atmosphere too. Visit and enjoy

Thanks Cafe 33 for the amazing birthday cake! Tasted as good as it looks! Will definitely recommend you to friends.

This is the first time we have used Cafe 33 to provide a lunch for our company - unlikely to be the last assuming we are able to hold meetings at some point in the future! Excellent choice of sandwiches quiche, chicken, pork pies and sausages to satisfy everyone. Followed by an extensive supply of tray bakes and cupcakes. It was also not an issue to add on a gluten free option after our initial booking

Been coming to this Cafe for a long time and love it. Great coffee, scones, pancakes and bacon rolls. But what I really come for is the fudge with the coffee. Would recommend the cafe to anyone. Thank you all. My hubby and I sincerely hope you can keep going. We love you all. Best wishes.

Quick stop off while travelling for lunch. We had 2 hot rolls. One bacon, potato scone and egg the other vegetarian sausages and egg. Coffee band a chai latte which was awesome and we were happy to continue our journey.

Came here for a light lunch after visiting Stirling. The place seems to be a busy spot in the village, so it looked like a good place. Pretty much all the precautions were in place except not all the staff were wearing face masks. The cafe has a mix of indoor and outdoor seating, but only the breakfast table by the window was available, which was fine. The food and beverage menu is pretty extensive. As I only wanted snacks, I only asked for a milkshake and chunky chips. Although there were so many things on the menu I wanted to try. The chips were nice and crisp, although I would've call them chunky (see photos). I was 3/4 of the way through the chips and the milkshake still hadn't arrived. Apparently it had gone to the wrong table, so it wasn't until I finished the chips that I got the drink, by which time my mouth was bone dry. In fairness the waitress took the cost of the milkshake off the bill by way of apology. I do have to give credit to the staff for being generous with the bill. Like I said, it was busy and things to get mixed up.

I recommend this we café very highly I get my take aways here . Food is first class and staff are so friendly and helpful .

We have been regular visitors to this cafe for several years but unfortunately after our last visit we will not return. We came in on a freezing cold day and headed for the cosy corner table as there were only 2 other tables squashed together to make a table for four. We were immediately approached by the "lady" with the white hair who practically threw a metal container with cutlery on the table and walked away without a greeting or taking our order. If we had been politely asked to move we would willingly have done so but this behaviour is unacceptable hence the reason we will not return

Good service and friendly helpful staff. A lovely cafe on the main street of Bridge of Allan with table and chairs outside on the pavement. Would certainly use again.

Aye, no bad for a quick bite when in BofA. Does a range of light meals in cafe food and drink. Usually seems busy.

We had stopped for breakfast and had coffee with bacon, eggs and toast which looked good and tasted good. Quick friendly service

Mi hija y yo nos quedamos en Stirling durante cuatro días y recordando lo bueno que era este pequeño café cuando estuvimos allí hace tres años, no podíamos esperar para ver si la comida seguía siendo tan buena, ¡lo era!Mientras cenábamos en el hotel esa noche, nos decidimos por una tostada de queso y cebolla. Vino con una ensalada y un buen aderezo, ensalada de col y nanchos y sin duda había mucho queso en la tostada. Mi hija pidió té y pedí un capuchino grande, muy caliente. Ahora no sé ustedes lectores, pero estoy harto de que me presenten cafés tibios (que siempre vuelvo hasta que obtengo lo que estoy pagando). Salud y seguridad han ido demasiado lejos. Por lo tanto, cuando le pregunté a la camarera por un capuchino, muy caliente, y ella le dijo a la mujer detrás del mostrador, a quien tomé como dueño, la escuché decir, "todos mis cafés están calientes", ¡y lo están! Al pagar la factura, comenté que mi café era como me gusta y dijo que incluso cuando la gente de H&S la visita y le dice que el café está a la temperatura incorrecta, les dice que así les gusta a sus clientes. Desearía que otros dueños de cafeterías y restaurantes le quitaran una hoja a su libro, ya que me lo estropea cuando tengo que discutir el punto.El servicio es rápido y el grupo de personas en la mesa contigua obviamente había disfrutado de su comida caliente. Sin duda volvería a visitar Cafe 33

came here today after a few times of coming one of the ladys with Brown hair is lovley but the older lady with gray hair shouldnt be working with people very rude drawing dirty looks and huffing as if shes doing is a faver definitely need to look at the staffing as you are losing customers because of her its a shame as food is so good too.

Great coffee and cake, the quality of the sausages in the breakfast could be better, the fact you can't pick exactly what you want off of the breakfast menu disappointing

Visité el Puente de Allan y encontré este pequeño café cuando buscaba un lugar para tomar un café. Muy acogedor, limpio y comida casera. Ya había desayunado y esta era una parada de café por la mañana. Había un puesto de pastel de bollos de fruta fresca que parecía tan atractivo que no pude resistirme. Ciertamente no me decepcionó, rápidamente servido con mantequilla y mermelada, los bollos estaban calientes y absolutamente deliciosos, ¡podría haber comido fácilmente otro! ! El menú se veía muy bueno y lamentaba no poder comer. ! Sin duda volvería de nuevo cuando en Stirling.

Mi esposo y yo visitamos hace unos días de camino a casa después de las vacaciones. Estuvimos encantados de encontrar un lugar que tenía pastel sin gluten, así que decidimos tomar asiento. La niña nos mostró dos piezas de esponja que tenía junto con otros artículos de GF. Vimos que eran las dos últimas piezas, así que decidimos tomar una con un café Americano descafeinado. La esponja obviamente había estado mintiendo por un tiempo ya que estaba un poco seca y no era nada especial. Las tazas de café normales eran pequeñas. Nos dieron un shock cuando recibimos la factura - 12. 30. Un pastel de GF y un café nunca ha sido tan caro.Tipo peculiar de lugar y muy apretado para el espacio.

Vine aquí por un pastel y un café. Tuve el pastel de terciopelo rojo sin gluten, que era increíble, tan ligero y que ni siquiera sabía sin gluten, no había ninguna diferencia. Mi compañero tenía el pastel de zanahoria. Dijo que era uno de los mejores que había tenido. También los cafés vinieron con un poco de dulce de azúcar, fue un buen toque. Precios medios pero los pasteles son increíbles.

Fui en un día la semana pasada para ponerme al día con mis amigas, me saludaron las mujeres mayores más rudas que estaban en la recepción, me sorprendió tanto que sentí que quería irme, no había ninguna habilidad con las personas y los modales eran muy contundentes y groseros. y parecía que estaba harto, la comida era increíble, pero nunca regresaría debido a que el servicio al cliente cree que también necesita buscar más personal absolutamente impactante, estas mujeres perderán a sus clientes como yo y mis amigos no volveremos, y yo He leído algunas otras reseñas y vi lo mismo.

Had a lovely lunch in this cafe today. Food was great and there was so much choice with the home baking couldn't resist having 2 cakes. Commented to the waitress about the baking and it's all homemade by the owner. Staff were very friendly, will definitely return next time I'm passing.

We often pop into Cafe 33 after dog walks or cycles. When with our dogs we sit outside. BLT and coffee, thumbs up.

Esta es una pequeña cafetería pequeña que tiene un personal cálido y amable.

Another great eaterie. Good wholesome food. Friendly staff and dog friendly if you are sitting outside. Not to be missed

Stopped at this cosy friendly café on a wet November Sunday. The choice of cakes was excellent and we enjoyed our coffee and cakes. Looks like this would also make a good stop for lunch.

Good straight to the point food with plenty of variety. Amazing cup cake staff pleasant and attentive.

Great food friendly and efficient staff . This Cafe comes very highly recommended . Very happy to go. Ack again

This wee cafe is in Bridge of Allan a village a couple of miles outside Stirling. Have been eating here for the last 20 years. Yes its changed hands but its a good place to eat and very popular with the locals. So it always has high standards.

Coffees possibly deserved 4 stars (slightly too cool) but we marked down because of the grumpy middle-aged woman taking our orders. Not a single smile for us (obviously tourists with tourist dollars/pounds to spend) or for the customer after us. Very off putting. Not sure what she was so stressie about as the cafe (10:00 a.m.) was not busy - only 2 tables in.

I like to sit outside at this cafe which provides blankets if the weather is cold. Food is very good and freshly prepared. Breakfasts are particularly good as are the scones

This is a small, friendly cafe on the main street, there are a few outdoor tables. Inside it is cosy and has a lot of quirky signs on the walls, which can be purchased. The staff are very helpful and very cheerful. We had a late lunch of soup and bacon and egg rolls, with coffee. All were really tasty with good sized portions. Sadly no room for the selection of delicious cakes. I would definately recommend this cafe.

Cafe33 in the heart of Bridge of Allan is a heartwarming stop for lunch. Hot delicious food and the service is always excellent and a friendly welcome guaranteed. Great choice of coffees too, spoilt for choice. Seating available inside and out. Can’t recommend this little gem highly enough. Will be back soon. Don’t pass it a must for locals and visitors alike.

Bought red velvet and carrot cup cakes for my daughters 21st birthday. They tasted amazing and the attention to detail was so cute with little flags and diamonties.

My wife and I popped in for a light lunch. We ordered soup and a pot of tea. Got to say the service was excellent. The food was prompt hot and delicious. Always nice to get a good pot of tea. You can sit inside or out. The cakes looked delicious but I resisted. Got to say I will visit again. Nothing but good vibes

Popped in for a late breakfast, very tasty with excellent coffee. Small and intimate with great service. You can sit outside in all weathers and just watch the world go by.

Very busy lovely staff lentil soup perfect. This place serves the best latte anywhere in Scotland. Seating outside . The cafe is on the busy main street of Bridge of Allan a lovely village.

This small establishment was perfectly situated for an afternoon snack before attending a jazz concert at the brewhouse directly across henderson st. Although tight for space and seating the restaurant is very quaint, warm and comfortable. We had some hearty home made potato and leek soup with marvellous crusty bread followed by coffee and a selection of cakes. Service from time of order could have been quicker but all of the staff were very polite and friendly. We were in no great rush but for others who may be....take note!!!

Came here with our two children. We nearly left as the place was heaving and we were squashed into the corner, blocking the entrance to the toilets. I'm glad we stayed. The staff were very pleasant and helpful , the atmosphere was lovely and the food was great. My only gripe is that from where we were sitting we could see a thick layer of dust and dirt on the counter top. This was more obvious when the sun shone in. It would take five minutes to clean, so I'm not sure why it's not?

Good basic food. Feels homely. Not a place for a discreet conversation, but in summer there are outside tables. Very accommodating when I mentioned food allergies.

No greeting, older employee said I have two over there, pointing to a table. Our younger server was polite and smiling . I ordered soup, tasty but barely warm, baguette, which was inedible white stodgy, £25 for two without a please thankyou or was everything ok. Avoid at all costs. In fact my pal dropped me of in dunblane and I went to Tilly’s, which was lovely

This is still my favourite cafe in the area. If you go for breakfast, a quick lunch or a nice afternoon tea, the food is always fresh, the service is always friendly and the place is just so nice and cosy. Even sitting outside under the heaters is great to do some people watching over a nice cup of tea.

Tea which was from the pot and very refreshing, and absolutely delicious, moist Victoria Sponge - what more could you ask ? All delivered by kind staff even though they were mercilessly busy.

Visited Cafe 33 on a lovey sunny Autumn afternoon that was more like Summer. We were delighted that we could sit outside in the sunshine and watch the world go by. We weren't sure if it was table service or not and I have to say that the staff were less than helpful and somewhat grumpy in their attitude. We took a Menu and sat out to peruse it. We then ordered a white coffee, hot chocolate, carrot cake and lemon drizzle cake. The hot chocolate was lovely and rich and the coffee satisfactory. Carrot cake was nicely decorated and very moist and the lemon drizzle cake was tasty. Nice home baked consistency. It was a relaxing way to pass some time and the prices were reasonable. If it is cooler, the chairs outside have blankets to let you enjoy the fresh air longer. This is a nice touch. Gluten free items are available. Grumpy member of staff taking the order and handling the payment spoiled a visit.

Met my friend at Cafe 33 for a long overdue catch up. BEAUTIFUL Cafe on the main thoroughfare in Bridge of Allan. One would think that being on a main street it would be noisy but....... Inside - you could easily be in a little cafe somewhere in Europe. There is also seating outside for when we don't have 'traditional' Scottish weather!!Friend and I were having a light lunch - both of us having baked potatoes. Huge choice of filings so whilst my friend had beans, I plumped for chillie - GORGEOUS.Although I previously stated that we were having a light lunch we could not resist having a cake each - friend had Malteser cake and I had gluten free coffee and walnut - SOOOO tasty. Service was prompt and all staff were EXTREMELY friendly. If anywhere near Bridge of Allan - DEFINITELY worth a visit.

Has to be best cafe in Bridge of Alan. Coffee is great and coffee walnut cake was amazing. Carrot cake was great as well.Well worth a visit, staff very friendly and helpful

Apparently the best cappuccino ever according to my friend. Excellent service with a smile and highly recommended.

Stopped for lunch on a visit to the town...excellent (could tell as all the tables full before we sat down). Typical lunchtime food at a very reasonable price, well cooked and served.No wonder it is busy

Stopped here for coffee recently. Wasn't sure if it would be any good as the cafe is a little dark and dingy (although the loos are bright and clean). However, the coffee was good, the home baking was enticing, I had the tea loaf, he had a scone. Both went down very well. The waitress wasn't overly smiley but was unobtrusively helpful. The menu states that the lasagne, burgers etc are home made, so I'll be back sometime to try them out. A good find.

Always look forward to visiting here. We sit outside with our lovely coffees and watch the world go by. The baking is superb, the coffee excellent, and the staff are brilliant.

Myself and two mates stopped here on the way up north. We just found it on Google as we drive past Stirling. We all had bacon rolls and then a piece of cake each with coffees and everything was great. The place itself is cosy and we found the staff really nice. Good place to stop just off the motorway if you need a break and a bite.

As the title says... great cup of coffee and a great range of teas too. Cakes are delicious and all home made. Have often had the skinny breakfast too, lovely and tasty.Great find and family run cafe, much preferred to the bigger chain cafes and restaurants!

Very disappointed by the service. There was a distinct lack of enthusiasm and poor service. Toilets were clean but seemed a bit run down. This is the second time I have gone here. Last time was in 2016 and it was no better then. Not sure if I will ever return.

After reading reviews and personally messaging cafe 33 about coming for afternoon tea with family - even them sending a photo of what their afternoon tea looked like, I decided to go ahead and book a table for me and my family to go for a treat. When we arrived we were seated to the table, we sat for a while before anyone came over to see to us. We ordered the sandwich fillings we all wanted. The stands came and I felt embarrassed that I brought my family here. It was nothing like what the woman had messaged me!! I was disappointed. I said to the waitress that we were looking forward to having meringues with the afternoon tea as that was which drawn us to come in the 1st place - she said there was none made. The pancakes were dry and definitely not homemade and a tray bake which wasn't the best either. We won't be returning.

After spending 4 hours exploring Dumyat in the Ochils on a very hot day, I was more than ready for something to drink, and walked along the main street of Bridge of Allan where there was a choice of cafes. I liked the look of this one, so went in and ordered a coffee and a piece of chocolate cake. Both were very good and I was completely satisfied. The staff were pleasant and toilet clean.

Stopped off for lunch on the way back to Edinburgh after coming up for my son's football match at Stirling Uni. Glad we chose this place, tried the scotch broth and home made sausage stovies which were fantastic with plenty thick cut fresh bread and my son took the macaroni cheese which he loved. Service was great and the staff were very friendly. Will look forward to the next match up there as we will definitely be stopping off here on the way home again.

Coffee is the best in town. Lovely selection of cakes and scones. Bacon rolls are yummy. Plenty of other fillings available for rolls, sandwiches or baked potatoes.

We go here every week. The coffee is lovely and the French toast, bacon and maple syrup is saved for special occasions. Delicious. The staff are friendly and have got to know our orders. Sitting outside with the dog is great, especially on the sunny side of the street. A great place to enjoy a relaxed coffee and cake, watching the world go by. The full breakfast is also amazing!

After having ordered our drinks and breakfast the coffee was clumpy and bitty. I had ordered salmon and eggs with a croissant but only the eggs and salmon came and I had to remind the staff that I was missing part of my breakfast. The eggs and salmon were lovely but the croissant was awful. It was so hard and tough that it was almost inedible and it was very difficult to cut through. This was disappointing as firstly having to remind someone what my order was is understandable to a degree (I know it is easy to forget things as I also work in hospitality) but then being questioned whether I had actually ordered it or not was unacceptable. Then with the food not being up to standard this really made me regret coming to spend my morning here. The staff were unapproachable and rude throughout our whole meal. After trying to explain that the coffee was clumpy and bitty at the end to the lady serving us, she obviously did not care as she just laughed and handed our change back to us. So I decided not to mention the my breakfast as I would have rather not been laughed at and also due to the fact it was obvious that the way in which the staff speak to their customers and their body language towards their customers shows that they could not care less about customer satisfaction.

Decided to try this café as it was on the sunny side of the street and we could sit out with the dog. It was busy at the time both inside and out, but we got a table fairly quickly. Slight issue with the ordering, but it was cleared up and the orders placed. Decided to try the square sausage and steak stovies as it sounded different from normal. It was delicious, very tasty. Service was good and friendly.Went back the next day and had very good bacon rolls and scones.

Afternoon tea with lovely chocolate cake, service was friendly and lots of choice of cakes. Very reasonable price.

Stood there for longer than comfortable while we were deliberately ignored. Questions were answered with grunts and body language of "not bothered" contrasted by a lovely smiling young woman behind the counter. We finally elected to sit at a counter as they were busy and we didn't want to sit outside. We waited and witnessed a few people after us getting their food ahead of us with no explanation.Nothing could have prepared us for the tasteless, cheap sausage, greasy egg and starched white cheap toast. Having said that, the black pudding was most excellent.The best thing was leaving and having our camera returned to us by one of the previously unfriendly member of staff. I would suggest that a smile goes a long way no matter how busy you are. The young woman behind the counter has a natural smile and presents well. Would have preferred to be greeted and seated by her.

Was a cold place to sit. Cramped. Lady was snooty n rude. Food was lovely. Let down by freezing cafe and frosty lady!

Looked inviting so despite some of the recent reviews we thought we'd give it a try.... Sadly we wish we hadn't. Despite being middle of the day we were greeted with about as much enthusiasm as someone just about to close and felt immediately unwelcome. Despite the lack of customers, it took an age and numerous attempts to catch the staff's attention to be able to order, when we finally did the attitude was one of 'why are you here'...? The food was fine but given the overall experience we would never return. Should have gone elsewhere....

Despite having been warned by a friend that the service in this cafe was poor, I still risked it and took a visitor in, looking for lunch. We were greeted and shown to a table promptly and then .......nothing. There was one other table occupied in the cafe at the time and three members of staff including an older woman who should have known better standing at the counter chatting to someone they knew. More customers entered and were immediately served. At that point we stood up preparatory to walking out. Did anyone rush over or speak to us? No. We left and will not be returning and as a local I will be telling eveyone of our experiences.

Actually, no it wasn't. It was non-existent service.My wife and I go here now and then, when visiting the area and the last few times, things have been going downhill.Today, we entered and there were a few empty tables. we sat at one and had a look at the menu. As we are fairly regular, we know what we want, so the menu was put away and we waited for the waiter/waitress. And we waited.A family of 4 came in, they were served, they ordered and had their drinks served. Surely they'd come and see us next......but no. Happier for the 4 servers to be standing behind the counter, chatting.Another group of 4 came in, they ordered and when their drinks and cakes were being delivered, we'd had enough. We got up and walked out.This is not the first time we have encountered this. The last time it was blamed on them being so busy, but at the time we were in today, there were a number of empty tables and none occupied outside.We went elsewhere and for a similar amount got at least as good a meal.Don't think we will darken the door of this establishment again the next time we are in the area.Lynn T, you can criticise me all you like, but I notice that you only respond to reviews that criticise your establishment - not thank the ones that praise you. I know who you are as you dealt with a problem I had with a meal some time ago. You were culpable today, as you were one of the ones standing about chatting.

Due to the local bank being shut we popped in for a cup of tea & a coffee and we had to have some cake. I mean, we can't go in and NOT have cake, that's just rude! I had fabulous chocolate cake & Earl Grey tea, boyfriend had coffee & carrot cake. We both totally enjoyed the cakes & it wasn't a silly price either. It was busy but service was quick, efficient and friendly. I liked all the things on the wall which were also for sale.

Having visited the Wallace monument we decided to skip the on site cafe and pop into Bridge of Allan for a coffee. Having found a cafe, we phoned ahead and spoke to a chap asking him if the cafe was dog friendly. 'Yes' he said and with that we headed over. Upon entering we saw a big sign saying No Dogs! My partner popped in to clarify and this was confirmed. We mentioned we had phoned ahead 5 minutes ago and we're told dogs were welcome. The waitress replied 'Yes we are, outside on the street'.... Idiots

This is a lovely wee café, cosy inside with some outdoor seating too. It serves quite decent food including fish tea's sandwiches etc, good coffee as well as baking. The last few times I visited there was an offer of a free refill of filter coffee which I enjoyed. The café also has toilets.Nice place.

Lunch in Bridge of AllanPanini and lunch combo was goodFollowed by a nice cup of tea/latteAlso sells signs hanging in cafe

Delicious coffee (served with a wee taster of delicious shortbread). The cake was excellent too. We sat in the outside area and watched the world go by. Fast, efficient and friendly service. Would highly recommend.

We stopped at Bridge of Allan in search of a pit stop for breakfast and decided to try Cafe 33. My daughter & I had poached eggs, bacon & had the option of toast or pancakes (We had pancakes) & my husband had the full breakfast. All was freshly cooked, quality food ...really delicious!! Good selection of other breakfast options, including healthy ones. Lunch menu looked tasty too. This is obviously the place to come for coffee...the counter was loaded with homebaked cakes and biscuits. If I lived in Bridge of Allan, this would definitely be my regular coffee stop!! Would definitely recommend!!

We went to this place cause it has good reviews. The desserts are awesome! The food is good and has good portions. The atmosphere is quaint. The bathrooms were very clean. Had to pay to park on the street. It was hard to find and we actually stumbled upon it not looking for it on the main road to Stirling Castle.

I needed dinner, and a quiet place to rest for an hour. Bridge of Allan was disappointing me regarding these needs. I thought I was out of luck as it was a Sunday evening and most places would be locking up by this point. Thankfully Cafe 33 was still open and the staff were attentive and friendly.Food was good and fairly priced, quickly made and satisfying. I ordered soup, chips, cappuccino, and a fancy gingerbread milkshake. All of this for £10.30.The cafe itself has a bright, cheery charm with my pics and signs adorning the walls. There's no pretension or snobbery here. If I ever pass through this town again I will jump in for lunch or dinner and I can recommend it to others.

This is a great favourite of many locals from Bridge of Allan. A place to meet, enjoy friendship and savour the excellent coffees and 'all day breakfasts' provided. Unsophisticated but what there is is good. Some outside seating to enjoy the sun with any dog you may have and water bowls are provided. Several good shops just seconds away on either side.

Be very carful if you are vegetarian. Make sure that they know that. I just asked for a cheese and tomato sandwich and was served ham. Yuck!

We had lunch in this fantastic cafe today. Our dog was welcomed outside with a bowl of fresh water. As I am currently following a healthy eating plan I was very pleased to see a section on the menu devoted to those of us who want to lose weight but still 'eat out'. While my husband had a delicious panini I had poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and bacon - all cooked to perfection. This cafe was 'a real find'.

I live above this place and I love love love their bacon rolls and their latte. They do a very good breakfast and their cakes and scones are also delicious.

I was staying in Bridge of Allan for 4 days and went there each day for breakfast/ lunch/snack. The curly haired girl taking orders was a delight and nothing was too much bother for her. The food came swiftly and was just as I had requested.Loved it!

My friend and I walk the dog to Bridge of Allan regularly, and always stop here for a take away coffee to get us back home!!! It is without doubt the best coffee around. We have been going for so long now, the staff recognise us walking along the road, and have it lined up on the counter for us - how's that for service!!!!Also highly recommend the home made cakes - the chocolate and orange sponge (my two favourite things in the world....) is absolutely beautiful, and the vanilla and white chocolate......... to die for!!!!

Had lunch in Café 33 today and talk about fresh!!! The food was just fantastic, homemade and flavoursome; friendly service was great too

A good friend lives in Bridge of Allan, and on asking him where the best breakfast stop was, he claimed ignorance - but asked us to recce Cafe 33. First impressions from the outside were that the tables under the canopy would be a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by, but given the weather conditions that morning we ventured across the threshold. We were greeted by a friendly lady who asked us to take a seat, and was there when we were ready to order. The cafe was clean and well presented with plenty of space between tables, and having placed our order it arrived promptly. The breakfast menu was extensive (I confess I didn't pay much attention to anything else, although the "specials" looked good). I would heartily recommend the French toast, and the bacon was excellent. You can even have it with maple syrup if that's the sort of thing you like. The next time I'm in Bridge of Allan, I know where I'll be having breakfast!

come here on a regular basis and the food and service is always great. good selection on the menu as is the selection of home bakes

I had been recommended to pop in here at a weekend to sample both the food and the atmosphere .This small cafe has a broad menu happy staff and great service I had a great seat outside watching life go by in B of A and my coffee and food arrived promptly with a smile .Food was well priced and well cooked .A varied clientele made for a great atmosphere with the owners happy to chat and take time to get to know their customers I would recommend this cafe both for its food and atmosphere .It a place where you feel at home the minute you sit down I came in tired from my sprint training and walked away with a smile.. you cantsay more Ronnie from Glasgow

Impromptu stop here this morning - looked for a cafe to chill out at. Gorgeous sunny day and there were a good few tables out on the street. We had French toast, bacon & syrup, Bruchetta and a portion of fries (okay that last bit was sheer greed). Good was really lovely, and the latte very smooth. Not much in the way of a selection of tea (which disappointed my companion). Friendly staff. Pretty fast service. Got parked on the street, which I imagine was just sheer luck (30mins for free). There will be parking on some of the side streets. Oh! And there is a free cash machine immediately next to it - very handy. All in all - good location, good menu and good service.

A lovely little cafe set on the main street in Bridge of Allan. The staff are very friendly, the food was very tasty and the tea and coffee was good too.

Called into Cafe 33 after an ordinary lunch previously at Jam Jar. Great food cooked freshly and exactly as ordered. Staff care about the customer and their dining experience. Not a flash restaurant, but one that should not be missed for breakfast or lunch. Very affordable.Tried once and returned twice more. Service and food at equally high standard every time.

After our 3rd visit to the small and cosy cafe, me and my girlfriend are once again very impressed. Service is quick and of a high standard as well as prices being very reasonable. I recommend the bacon, brie and cranberry sandwich as it has tasted amazing every time I have had it. The lovely 23 degree weather topped it all off as we could enjoy our delicious meals outside.

What a relief ! Having had what I can only describe as a disastrous visit last year to jam jar in Bridge of Allan attempting to have lunch but leaving hungry and annoyed I picked up some courage and popped into cafe33 whist in Bridge of Allan again , from the warm welcome on entering , to the prompt service , to my lunch ...... Perfection :-) delicious cakes on display and people around me enjoying themselves too , what more could you ask for ? VISIT IF YOU CAN , well worth it

Food excellent staff always lovely always made welcome every time I visit clean and nice to sit and watch the world go by thanks for everything from Kay Cunningham

Great place with a variety of different breakfast options and a great selection of cakes, I was here on the Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it and went back the next day. Staff are great and the food did not take long to arrive to our table. Most of the tables seat two people, so parties of more than two may struggle to be seated. Overall, this cafe was brilliant and will definitely be returning in the future!

This is a really great little place. The cakes and food are all home made and the quality of the food is excellent. The coffee is the best I have tasted for a while and the cakes and biscuits are freshly made.They serve lunches and have a good choice of food which are good value for money.The staff are always smiling and helpful. Lots of locals eat here which is always a good sign.

So glad I live close to this place, the prices are more than reasonable and everything I have tried has surpassed expectation. Definitely Cafe 33 loyal now!

Maybe not the most exciting place but the coffee is good and the scones were fine.Fairly big selection of cakes and tray bakes, enough to make your choice tricky.Good place to sit outside under the heaters and watch the world go by.Better score would be 3.5/5.I'll go back.

Arrived here on Easter Sunday in a hailstorm and we were quickly seated and warmed up with delicious food and coffee cake with free refill. Great friendly service will definitely be back.
